>>> video speed 473

>>You sure it's not overclocked?  :)  My P166 gives only 323.  :(
>>I guess I can live with that.  Now here is the real shocker:

>>Running windows 95 or above
>>Speed (c.f. DX2-66): 323
>>Video speed: 30

>>Look at the video speed.  It is just pathetic.  The video card is a #9

>>Otherwise I will have to return the card and buy a Matrox Millenium

This is possibly the most misleading statement I have ever read on this
group.

The video card makes a HUGE difference in frame rate. The CPU has the
biggest effect of course, but you bring an ATI-Mach64 round to my place,
and I will show you what difference my Hercules Dynamite 128 makes to
GP2 - you WOULD be convinced.

Cheers!
John

>>scores.. I'm thinking of buying the MATROX if that's the problem..
>I have p166 and Matrox millenium too and it gives me:

>looks like ATI makes good windows cards but thats about all theyre

Man, I have a Fahrenheit Pro 64 which is about $125 more expensive in
Sweden than the Matrox.

Processor (x86): 5
Speed (c.f. DX2-66): 291                (P-150)
Video speed: 129

Well, that was money in the bin.

Cheers
